IF JULY 18 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: During the next several months you may be swept up in a great vision of possibilities that becomes a motivating force.

Either way, if you can't get what you want then rest assured you will get what you need during December. Someone might offer you a small opportunity that will end up improving your situation or you might receive some excellent advice that, if followed, makes a huge difference in your future.
